Actually, I changed that tire myself
- on the side of the interstate. Luckily, I had purchased one of those “tire buddy” ramp things that you pull the camper up onto, in order to lift the other tire. Swapped on the spare; took the blown tire to the tire store the next day and had it replaced. I then swapped the original wheel/new tire back onto the camper myself when we got back home from the trip. I used a floor jack, positioned under the u-bolts.
Thanks for the link. I’ll probably start with my dealership on Monday morning - they’ve always been great to work with. I looked at my paperwork - appears Lippert offers a 6 year manufacturer warranty on the axles. And the extended warranty also covers them. So hopefully this won’t be a major ordeal.
One word of caution to anyone reading this: the lug nuts on the wheels take a different socket than the lug nuts on the spare. I’m a “prepared” kind of person, so I had the tire buddy, and had put a breaker bar and socket in the camper in case I ever had a blowout. But I had only packed a 3/4” socket because that’s what fit the wheels. Imagine my surprise to discover that the lugs on the spare are 7/8”... Luckily, I had a good pair of Knipex pliars that would get a good bit on the spare tire lugs.
I went out and bought a pack of 3/4” lugs and replaced the ones on the spare so they all match now. Kinda makes you scratch your head on who decided to use two different sizes... [emoji849]
